Pegging a Ball Across the Infield from One’s Back

As great as those moments are for Wheaties commercials, none of them compare athletically to the undiluted nuclear energy of MLB’s steroid era.

With pronounced traps and erupting forearms, the barrel-chested Ken Caminiti embodied the comic book hero archetype of that time. Put forward for consideration, this throw as evidence that the guy had supernatural powers.

Clearing Four Tables' Worth of Pool Balls with Dominoes

As Performed by: Unknown

Granted, the athletic prowess of this particular feat leaves a bit to be desired. But, somehow, this pool shot is more impressive than a LeBron James windmill dunk or Evgeni Malkin breakaway goal.

When you consider what’s at stake if the shot fails (read: rebuilding this monstrosity of a physics experiment), this is a more composed and clutch achievement than Kerri Strug’s gold medal vault in the ’96 Olympics.

Diving in a Pool to Catch a Ball and Saving Your Beer

As Performed by: Mike Moon

Presumably, this fan had a few drinks in his system when he snagged this screaming Adrian Gonzalez home run ball, which makes the whole effort even more impressive. After all, one does not go diving into a pool Iggy Pop-style without a few drinks under their belt.

As an added wrinkle to the already absurd web gem, the guy saves his beer. Given the exorbitant markup of stadium beverages, this play is as financially responsible as it is utterly amazing.

The Backwards Chip Shot

As Performed by: Phil Mickelson

As the country club’s David Blaine, Phil Mickelson has a reputation for wielding his club set like a Callaway-branded wizard.

In this especially impressive example of otherworldly powers, Lefty drops a ball near the hole by flipping a shot over his shoulder.

Dunking over a 7-Footer

As Performed by: Vince Carter

Poor Frederic Weis. The 7'2" Frenchman seems to have adopted his defensive style of play from watching tape of old people waiting for buses.

As it turns out, loitering won't do much to slow down Vince Carter.

Employing Telekinesis to Score a Goal

As Performed by: Alex Mason

I'm not exactly sure how this goal was scored, but I think it has something to do with Alex Mason's ability to manipulate physical objects with his mind.

Along with a healthy diet and strength training, developing psychic powers can do wonders for a person's athletic performance.

The 300-Foot Strike

10 of 13

As performed by: Bo Jackson

There have been outfield assists that were longer and more powerful than this throw from Bo Jackson.

But, considering how poorly positioned the White Sox outfielder was when he caught the ball, this bomb is in a league of its own.

In his prime, Jackson could probably rain fadeaway jumpers from half court.

A 59.5" Box Jump

As Performed by: J.J. Watt

At nearly 300 pounds, J.J. Watt either needs a forklift or the core strength of an anaconda to get five feet off of the ground.

Spoiler alert: No heavy machinery was used in the making of this video.

The 10-Man Pool Alley-Oop

As the piano is to Beethoven, pool slides are to bored dudes. And the gentlemen in this clip created an absolute masterpiece.

Behold the magic of a summer day in suburbia.

A Soul- Jarring Hit

As Performed by: Jadeveon Clowney

Sure, it would have been nice for someone on Michigan's offensive line to put a hat on the SEC's most distinguished defensive player, but praise be to the GIF gods for this especially egregious blown assignment.

This is what happens when a 270-pound man with a 4.46 40-yard dash time gets a free pass into the backfield.
